Peruvian citizens can obtain an Indian e-Visa for tourism, business, or medical purposes. The application is submitted entirely online through the official government portal. Approval grants an electronic travel authorisation, which you must print and present upon arrival. The e-Visa is valid for entry at designated airports and seaports. Check the official site for current eligibility and conditions before planning a trip.
What the e-Visa means in practice
The Indian e-Visa allows Peruvian citizens to enter India for short stays without visiting an embassy. It covers tourism, business conferences, and medical treatment. You apply online, receive an electronic authorisation, and show it at immigration. The system simplifies the process, but you must meet all entry requirements. The e-Visa is not a guarantee of entry; final approval rests with immigration officers at the port of arrival.
Before you travel and on arrival
Before departure, complete the online application on the official e-Visa site. Upload a recent photograph and a clear scan of a passport bio page. Pay the fee online using a credit or debit card. After approval, print the electronic travel authorisation and carry it with a passport. At the Indian airport, proceed to the e-Visa counter for immigration. Biometrics, including fingerprints, are taken on arrival. Have a passport and printed authorisation ready.
Arriving in big cities and travelling between them
Major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have international airports that accept e-Visa holders. From the airport, you can take prepaid taxis or app-based rides to accommodation. For travel between cities, trains and domestic flights are widely available. Book tickets in advance through official railway or airline websites. Keep a passport and visa copy with you at all times, as hotels and transport operators may request them.
Staying longer, working or studying
The e-Visa is for short stays only. If you plan to work, study, or remain in India for an extended period, you must apply for a different visa category through the Indian embassy in Peru. Options include employment visas, student visas, or entry visas for long-term stays. Each category has specific requirements and documentation. Check the official Indian visa website or contact the embassy for detailed guidance. Do not overstay an e-Visa, as penalties apply.
